this never fails…
there was an accident on my way to work, so that slowed down traffic.
I had to visit my psychiatrist, i’m still having nightmares about that customer!
I got a puncture and fell off my bike, also I hate my job… ha ha ha… … no, seriously… Na, I’m joking. Or am I?…
Baffle them with bullcrap!
I’m sorry I’m late I was up all night f***ing your mum/sister/dad/gran/dog (delete as applicable) and subsequently overslept.
of course it would help if you could say “I am sorry”, instead of what I typed which would make you sound like a retard.
I woke up with a hard-on and had to relieve myself, as a result I’m late!
again, i have a three-way tie for my favourite excuses….
– explosive diarrhea. (i’ve ne’er needed to even elaborate past the base excuse.)
– woman problems. (works on both men and women. men fear the mentioning of too much information. women understand how awful such can truly be.)
– “on my way to the bus stop, i found a guy, barely conscious, bleeding from his head, lying on the sidewalk. he had no shoes, so i suspect he was mugged. i had to run home to call an ambulance. i then went back to wait with him until they arrived. because of that, i missed the bus.” (that one actually happened.)
Second the diarrhea one. Can’t be argued really…
House problems.
ie. The toilet backed up from the drains outside and I had to contact the council to sort it out before it became a rather nasty situation - I couldn’t leave it to my landlord as he is deaf you see…
(This is actually true).
haha ok this one i was minutes from using until i actually recieve a real excuse which sucked cus my grandad died. But…it he wasn’t so selfish and stayed alive (im jkin lol, but he did die just as i was gonna use the excuse)…
…i was at my friends earlier and they slipped sleeping pills as a joke in my drink…my friends were gonna take picture of drawing on my face etc…therefore i could have skipped the whole day at work. Later i found that i didn’t have control over charging them or not and if i used the excuse my work could of sued them…so DO NOT use this. lol
and a serious one that did happen to me…i woke up for work and tried getting off (finding cover etc), i failed and when i was leaving for work…i passed out haha. apparently i hadn’t been sleeping enough, so i got to sleep over my shift and recharge for a whole day of whatever i wanted haha
hey be honest my best one was ” i was extremely drunk last night so my body wouldnt alow me to wake up any earlier.
im still drunk from last night but i got up on time ive just worked 45 mins in the wrong place
Im sorry I was late I was in Jail
This bloke I worked with, who was a complete twat (christmas temp) told the managers that he was late due to the fact that his bus had been delayed because it had run over a pigeon and the poor bird had been sucked into the grate.
It was so fricken stupid it could of been true.
A member of staff turned up an hour and a half late because she had been dreaming…..!
This is a current topic on B3ta too!
